Six Questions

Since my brain isn't working properly yet, I'm grateful to Katie for tagging me in her Six Questions post. I was going to answer the ones that Hutch posed, but since I got officially called out I will do these.

1. What's your favorite song of all-time?

Can I have categories? Teaching dance has made me love so many different songs.

I really like a lot of instrumental songs like Spiegel Im Spiegel (Daniel Hope), Rocket to the Moon (Jim Brickman), Leaves on the Seine (David Lanz), Everloving (Moby), I Miss You (Vitamin String Quartet), and Deportation/Iguazu (Gustavo Santaollala).

I'm really fond of a song called Sand In My Shoes (Dido) and pretty much anything by Sarah McLachlan, Coldplay, Counting Crows... I really like the song Jolene (Dolly Parton)! Hotel California (The Eagles), Brown Eyed Girl (Van Morrison)... oh man, this list is going to be too long.

I'm going to call my top two as Green Onions (Booker T and the MG's) and Shine (David Gray).

2. What was your favorite Halloween costume? How old were you when you dressed up in that costume?

I think my favorite costume was the year I dressed up as a fried egg. I wish to God I had a picture handy for this post. My parents were so accommodating when I came home and made the announcement that I was going to be an egg, period. I think I read it in a book or something? I have no idea where the idea came from. I also don't remember the year--6th grade? But it was the coolest costume. My parents bought foam and shaped/glued it into egg form (with a yolk and everything) and spray-painted it white and yellow. It had arm holes and a face hole. It was like Scout's ham costume in To Kill a Mockingbird. Glorious.

3. If someone gave you $100 to spend as you please, what would you do with it?

Massage, end of story. If it was a good massage, I know it would be more than that but I'd save my quarters until I could make it happen.

4. What's your funniest drunk story? It could be you that was drunk, or someone else.

Ummmm... pass.

5. Are you addicted to a caffinated beverage? If yes, what's your poison?

I don't know if I'm addicted--I definitely was addicted to soda but I think I've broken the habit. I have one every once in a while but I don't crave them anymore. I think coffee has taken the prime spot. Maybe it's an addiction? It seems easier to resist. My favorite is still pumpkin spice lattes but I try to drink black coffee or Americanos most days so I'm not drinking empty calories. Lattes are for special days.

6. Would you rather get drinks with Daniel Tosh (Tosh.0), Conan (you know, Conan O'Brian), or Joel McHale (The Soup/Community) and why?

It's between Tosh and McHale for me but I'm going to say Tosh for two reasons. One, E would crap his pants if he got to meet that guy. Even by proxy it would make his little day. Two, Tosh seems like he's cooler with the "little people." All those web redemptions mean that he has spent time with lots of weirdos so I wouldn't be the worst thing he'd ever seen. McHale gets bonus points for hotness, but it seems like there might be some kind of elitist douchebaggery.

So now I'm supposed to make up 6 new questions and tag some folks. I hate tagging. Then people might not take it. So here are 6 questions, feel free to answer if you want to.
